Science and Research committee  It's just to say that the funding we provide, the way we provide it and the regulations that we implement provide the baseline for all research in many important ways. We have some great examples in the case of the secretariat and panels for research ethics and research integrity

Science and Research committee  It's just funding for very foundational equipment, software and so forth, to maintain security, so it operates at a very basic level to get universities to a place where they can utilize that software or that equipment to screen better. That's as far as we go in that funding.

Science and Research committee  I can take a crack at it by memory. The three councils are just over $3 billion in a system that's probably close to $30 billion. If you include industry.... It may be more. I apologize. I haven't looked at the latest data, which would see funding from government, in government l

Science and Research committee  I'm guessing, but I would call it an intelligent guess.

Science and Research committee  Absolutely.

Science and Research committee  Some of it would be—in government science, in labs, and in facilities like the National Research Council and so forth. It would—

Science and Research committee  Of the 90%, a good portion would be industry funding for their own research and also research that is done in institutions. Provinces fund research as well. That would account for a portion. Universities also fund their own research with their own resources. It's quite varied, a

Science and Research committee  Clearly, at this point, we are working together to develop the guidelines that will be applied to our areas as they would be applied to any other area. Right now, the screening is restricted to the alliance program, using the tools that have been developed. That may be expanded

Science and Research committee  I would probably start by saying that we would follow the guidelines that we were given and that we agreed to. We would implement that. A lot of things, as you would guess, within the social sciences and humanities would not come close to some of the screening being suggested,

Science and Research committee  I knew you were going to do that.

Science and Research committee  Yes. It was provided to SSHRC on behalf of the agencies to provide institutions with the funds they need to develop their own security measures locally.

Science and Research committee  It went through our department—through mechanisms we've established that are run by Madame Laflamme, who can give you more detail about that—and was distributed and is being distributed to institutions for the purpose—

Science and Research committee  Yes, absolutely.

Science and Research committee  They do a lot of different things. In fact, they propose to us the kinds of things they need to do locally to meet security requirements, and then we fund them on that basis. That can vary, as you can imagine, between institutions, depending on where they're at or how far along

Science and Research committee  I'd ask Valérie to speak to that if she's able to, but the point is that the money is provided to institutions based on their needs and on their understanding of what they need to do to enhance their own security measures. It's provided on that basis. I don't believe there's any
